My only friend that really sends me memes started using TikTok a year or so ago, and sends the strangest, out of context shit. Like it will just start halfway into the action and end before it’s over, and I’m just like wtf did I just watch?
Half the shit these people send me is just someone staring weirdly at the camera or pointing up to text. There’s no point in it being a video. It’s just the text they want me to read. That angers me so much.
If you know everything is political, then you know you said something silly. Take the correction, move on, and do better next time. Denigrating politics has dangerous consequences.
The word politics is more useful to misogynist gamers and incels than it is to anyone else. You certainly weren’t using it for anything productive. I believe we should make the word useless for everyone.
Politics is a very clear content type what the fuck are you on about?
I’m not saying politics like “if a game has a brown person that’s politics”. That’s wrong - a brown person in a game is political because Republicans can’t accept that diversity is real.
I’m saying if your entire feed is politics like “Today the White House said Palestinians aren’t people” and “Today Trump tweeted incoherent nonsense again! Can you believe it” or “Marjorie Taylor Greene is being outrageous again: watch this video and be mad!”
That’s politics. Everything is political - absolutely. That’s different than politicians and politicking.
Politics as generally used is activities associated with the governance of a country.
You don’t know what politics means. But you’re right to say everything is political.
That’s news. We already have a name for that kind of content, it’s news. What do you want to use the word politics for when we already have the word news?

I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s really cringe, and even more cringe to realize that the general populace loves that shit
Eh, I was a misanthrope WAY before tiktok came along.
Or someone overlaid their face over another video as a “reaction” but they contribute nothing of value to the original video
This could be solved with an honest conversation. Simply say “dude, your tiktok meme game is weak af. Send better memes.”
Strange out of context shit is what Tiktok does best - if you let it.
If your tiktok is all politics or dancing girls it’s your own fault. Train your algorithm to be dadaist and absurd.
It’s great.
Dadaism is a political art movement. Your tiktok is all politics too. You’re just in denial.
Everything is political. That’s not what I mean about politics.
If you know everything is political, then you know you said something silly. Take the correction, move on, and do better next time. Denigrating politics has dangerous consequences.
If everything is political = politics then the term politics wouldn’t be useful because it would mean everything.
You misunderstood me, took your shot, and missed.
Move on. Do better next time.
